It was at a church fair, and he had come there at tl\e special re¬ quest of bis ‘Cousin, 1 who was, at the bead of the flower table. He opened the door bashfully, and stood, hat in hand, looking at the brilliant scene before hiin, when a young lady rushed up, and, grabbing him by tbe arm, said: ‘Oh 1 you must, you will take a chance in our cake. Come right over here.

I don't remember saying anything about—' ‘O, but you will,* said the first young lady, tugging at the youth's arm. ‘It‘s for the good of the cause, and you won‘t refuse,* aud once more the beautiful eyes looked soulfully in¬ to his. ‘Here we are. Now take an envelope; open it. There ! you are going to be married in a year. Isn't that jolly. 6’eventy-five cents please. 1 This time the youth was carefyl to hand out the exact change. ‘Ob, I should just like to have my fortune told. May I ?* said the first young lady. ‘Of course you may, my dear,* said Miss Larkins, handing out one of her envelopes. ‘Oh, dear, you are going to be married this year too. Seventy five cents more, please,* and the poor youth came down with auotber dollar note. ‘No change here, you know,* added Miss Larkins,putting the green¬ back iu her pocket. ‘Oh, come; let's try our weight,* said the first yonng lady, once more tugging at the bashful youth's coat- sleeve, and before he knew where he was, he found himself standing on the platform of the scales. ‘One hundred and thirty-two,' said the young lady. ‘Ob, howl would like to be a great heavy man, like you, 1 and she jumped on the scales like a bird.

All between the cradle and the coftin is unC U'tuiu. Anger begins with folly and ends with repentance. Blessings are often uot valued until they are gone. I know of nobody that has a wish to die this year. It is a base thing to tread upon man that is-down. Friendship is the most sacred of all moral bonds. He that gives his heart will not deny his money. Alms are’golden keys that open the gate of heaven. A sweet and innocent compliance is isjthe cement of: love. Industry is fortune's right hand, and frugality’- her* left. A wise man wifi make more oppor¬ tunities than fie finds. Hjjsereetjnves have sometimes nei¬ ther eyes nor oars. A man in passion ride3 a horse -that runs away with him. He that does you a very ill turn will never forgive you. He‘s my friend that speaks well of of me behind my back. Forget other people's faults by re memberirig your own. It often costs more to revenge inju¬ ries than bear them. A covetous man does nothing that he should—until he dies. He that after sinning meDds, rec¬ ommends himself to God. He that is master of himself will soon be master ofjothers. -.«-- Bible Terms.

The Locksmith s Chance. Pat Lyon, the great locksmith of his day was often sent for by presi- dents of bunks and other great people, and he rather liked the idyii of keep- ing the great people waiting. So one morning Pat said he would come as s oon as he lutd done his breakfast, which happened to be a great deal later than usual this particular mor¬ ning. Pretty soou caure the second mes¬ senger, fqr Pat from the bauIt presi¬ dent, and so Pat started oft' with mes¬ senger number two. When he reach¬ ed the bank be found the president, and'cashier, aud clerks, all in a fret and fume. They couldn't open the safe to get the money out for the busi¬ ness of the day; something or other was the matter with the lock. They were in a deal of stew, and hailed P.*t on his arrival with delight, for now iht , y coul( j op( , u the lock, Pat was bald-headed, and had a habit of rubbing bis bands on his pate, thus really rubbing his hair a- way. lie wore spectacles as a general thing, but when he Was particularly desirous of looking at anything, or was particularly excited, he took bis spectacles off his eyes and fixed them en his forehead. He now rubbed 1iis hands over his head a minute, phis his spectacles over his forehead, looked at the lock a half minute, worked at 'ft with his tools a minute or two, aud the lock was fixed all right and the safe was ready to open. The president was delighted, and so was tlie cashier. They shook hands with Pat, who received their salutations with a good deal of stvla “And now, Mr, Lyon,“ asked the president, “what is your charge? 1 * Pat put his spectacles a little high¬ er, just a little, and’isaid: “Oue hundred dnfiurs. “ “What! one hundred dollars for less than three minutes work, M, Mr. Lyon? Wfcy.fcbisi* outrageous, “ said the uresklswt-. cashier.* “/t fs extortion,“ said the “All right,“ safd Put Lyon, rubbing his band over his head, and then put¬ ting his spectacles a iittle higher over his forehead—just a little. “You won't give me my money—*1 won't give you my work And Pli leave things as I found them. Here he took hold of the lock, and circusing with it, got it out of gear as it was at first, and so left the safe Jin precisely the same unopenable condition as he found it. Tnen ha started to go home. But the president and cashier, ap- yreciating the situation, seeing what a fix they were in, begged Pat to let up on them, and fix the lock so they Could open the safe. Pat complied with their request but still kept his hand on tbe safe. It was all ready to open, but wasn't yet opened. “Now, be reasonable in your charges; do, Mr. Lyon,“ said the bank president. “Two hundred dollars,“ said Pat, rubbing bis head and raising bis spectacles once more. “Why, this is downright robbery, 11 cried the president. t ( Might a-, well break into the safe, as open it at that rate," remarked the cashier, “AH right,“ said Pat, circusing with the lock rapidly, before anybody could prevent him. and then banging the safe door too, leaving it for the third time hermetically sealed. By this time the president bad his mad up, He ordered Pat out of his office, and sent for a rival blacksmith. He came quick enough, and and fussed long and hard enough, but he didn't fix the lock, and he couldn't open the safe. nd it got to be near¬ ly 10 o.cIock, and no money available yet. In despair the third messenger was dispatched after Pat Lyon, who came back with a lot of extra dignity. “Open that at your own terms, Mr. Patrick Lyon,“ said tbe president. Pat rubbed his head, put bis spec- tables way up on his forehead, and opened the Safe. “Now your terms,” said the presi- den t. “Three hundred dollars," sai 1 Pat. The ca shier protested.but the pres- Vol. III. No. 16 ident paid the money. *’why he will a ^ c f° r $400 next time, 1 * remarked the president to tbe cashier, “Excuse me.‘‘ said Pat with dlg- ”ity, ‘‘but my terms next time wfllbo $500 “ “Y^ou see, “ said the president to the cashier, as he gave him the check. And Pat rubbed bis bead, and took his cheek without a word. He was roaster of the situation, aud he know it. Felton & Co., Again Formulate. On Monday Inst Ffelton & Go,, met in the Markham house, Atlanta, drew up their contract for the campaign and sent it forth. 1. The political “caucus* 1 is only advisory in its character—should have no binding force upon the actions and conscience of free citizens of a free government; but every ballot cast at an election should represent the con¬ victions of the individual voter. 2. we insist that it is essential to free government to have a free ballot and a fair connt of all votes honestly cast at any State or National election; and the machinery of managing and supervising elections should be guard¬ ed nnd protected by law so that fraud will be impssible. 3. Honorable payment of all honest debts—especially tbe payment of the National and State debts—as rapidly as our surplus revenues will authorize. 4. In financial matters we recognizo gold and silver as the money of the Constitution; and all paper issues— greenback or other paper currency— should bo redeemable, at the will of tbe bolder, in coin, at the Treasury of the United States. 5. As soon as the reduction of the National debt will permit, we favor tlift repeal of all Internal Revenue laws, apa believe that all the revenues of the {federal Government upoa.fffteigti should be raised by a tariff articles im¬ ported into tfii *' country, and which ta ro¬ ri sfonriw ample encourage- f'A InMJeTniol protection tr> all home industries. 6. We advocate a liberal system of internal improvement* by the Federal Government for works of a National character only—especially onr water- routs of. transportation. 7. The National Government ia the supremo authority known to the peo¬ ple of this country, and its laws have tbe first claim to our obedience. Every citizen of tbe United States is entitled to a full protection of his per¬ sonal aud political rights under those Federal laws. 8. We believe every cbild should have the opportunity of acquiring a common English education in schools forever made free by a liberal support from the State Government. 9. Monopolies, by which a prir- ibdged class exercise a controlling power over the property and labor of a multitude of citizens, are opposed to the genions and spirrit of onr Gov- erment; and we will steadily resist every measure or system that tends to concentrate political power or un¬ due buisneas opportunities iu the hands of the few at the expense of the many. 10. The present system of leasing tue State convicts must be wiped from our statutes as a foul blot upon our civilization and humanity. 11. Party proscription and sectional prejudices have greatly retarded the material groth and development of our State—which material prosperity we earnestly desire and will diligently for ter; and to this end we will use every moral and legal means to suppress proscription and to liberalize sectional prejudices—recognizing the unity of onr common Federal Government and equality of all men before the laws. A story is told of a Jew of Tewks¬ bury, in 1820, who fell into a well on Saturday—the Jewish Sabbath. Out of reverence for the day lie would not suffer himself to be drawn out. The Earl of Galston, on whose land the well was, wonld not allow him to bd taken 6ut the next day out of respect for Sundsy, and before Monday came he died.
